Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of documents that demonstrate the legal protections enjoyed by Catholics in Ireland who pledged allegiance to the English Crown. The author has collated evidence to counter the widely-held belief that Ireland's Catholic population were legally discriminated against before the reign of William III. The documents reveal that Catholics had the right to sit and vote in the Irish Parliament and were entitled to freedom and votes within Irish corporations, as long as they took an oath of allegiance to the English monarch. The compilation highlights that British oppression of Irish Catholics is a relatively recent phenomenon, dating back only as far as the 17th century.
